Cashback is a purchase benefit returning part of the purchase amount or offsetting it under the promotion's rules. It may involve a post-purchase redemption process or an immediate checkout adjustment. Its distinction from an ordinary discount lies mainly in the return or offset mechanism.[1]
Clarify who funds the benefit and which products, purchases and evidence qualify. A manufacturer's promotion is not automatically a payout from the retailer. Cashback is also not a return refund: the customer may keep the goods. Compare prices transparently without presenting a conditional claim as money already received.
